Galway / Madden Family Whitegate area
« on: Saturday 26 July 14 00:35 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information on Margaret Madden  b 1 Feb 1830 in Kilkooney, parents may have been Patrick Madden and Kitty Minogue.  She had a brother James born abt 1834.  In 1850 Margaret left Ireland with an unknown aunt and uncle to come to the US.  The came through the port of New Orleans and proceeded up the Mississippi River (the aunt died along the way), landing in Cincinnati.  While there she re-met Martin White (they knew each other from school) and they married in 1853.  James settled in Memphis, Tennesse and for a time Margaret & Martin lived there as well.  I have not been able to locate a baptismal record for Margaret on rootsireland.  Thanks

I am looking for information on Martin White I have his birth as Nov 9 1822 Dereney, Galway (now Clare).  He left Ireland in 1848 to come to the US.  There he met up with an acquaintance Margaret Madden (1 Feb 1830 Kilkooney, Galway).  They married in 1853.  Their children listed in birth order were Mary (I), Matilda, Dennis, Patrick, Mary (II), John (I), Margaret, Ann, John (II), Martin, Dora.  I found a baptismal record for a Martin Whyte born Nov 8  1823 parents: James Whyte & Anastasia Nevils sponsor Judith Levi.  The parish/district is listed as Loughrea.  I would like confirmation that these two Martins are the same person.  Thanks

I have a hand drawn map titled PreFamine Map- Whitegate.  It shows two Egan families Julia Egan and Martin Egan living north of the Dereney River.  Neighbors are Rocky White, John Kennedy, Jack Minogue, James Minogue.  I don't have any specific info about the Egan families.
